As a generation that grew up with top-notch cartoons, it's the duty of adult '90s kids to make sure modern children have their own version of Doug. Sure, part of the yearning for reboots is nostalgia-driven, but there's no denying cartoons had a major moment when you were a kid. It wasn't just the shows on Nickelodeon or Disney either. Nearly every channel was producing quirky, addictive programming for kids.

1. Doug

To know Doug Funnie is to love him. With his big imagination and realistic tween problems, the character was the perfect guide through those confusing middle school years. Whether he was dealing with body image issues or embarrassing himself by trying to impress his crush, Patti Mayonnaise, Doug's struggles were always relatable.

3. Tiny Toon Adventures

OK, so Looney Tunes isn't as popular as it once was, but that's all the more reason to bring back Bugs, Daffy, and the rest of the gang's descendants. Tiny Toons was smart, wonderfully silly, and full of pop culture nods that made kids feel like they were in the know.

4. Dexter's Laboratory

This Cartoon Network classic is a treasure. Young genius Dexter is the perfect protagonist. But despite the charm of his grand plans, it was the constant conflict his sister and foil, Dee Dee, caused that made the series so entertaining.

5. Aaahh!!! Real Monsters

Ickis, Oblina, and Krumm's plight to scare the pants off humans had it all — a secret world existing right under people's noses, monsters attending scare school, and just the right balance of heart and spookiness to keep kids entertained.

6. Recess

7. The Tick

Spoon! No cartoon is more eccentric or hilarious than this story of a slightly unhinged superhero and his sidekick Arthur. In this age of superheroes, The Tick needs to make a triumphant, animated return.

8. Darkwing Duck

9. Rugrats

No other cartoon defined the '90s quite like Rugrats. That's all the more reason to give it a modern update — especially when you consider that Tommy and his pals could realistically have kids of their own by now.

10. The Wild Thornberrys

11. Pinky & The Brain

The genius of a show about a mad scientist mouse determined to take over the world and is goofy sidekick is hard to explain, but if you've seen the show, then you know there's nothing else quite like it.
